MARK TWAIN'S HOTEL.
Having lately opened a hasheiy, I send you these, my rules and regula* tions : —This house shall be considered strictly inn-temperate. None but the brave deserve the fare. Persons owing bills for board will be bored for bills. Boarders who do not wish to pay in advance are requested to advance and pay. Boarders are expected to wait on the coloured cook—for meals. Sheets will be nightly chauged once in six months, and more if necessary. Double boarders can have two beds with a room in it, or two rooms with a bed in it, as they may choose. Borders are requested to pull off their boots before retiring, if they can conveniently do so. Beds with or without bugs. All moneys and other valuables are to be left in care of the proprietor. This is insisted on, as he will be responsible for no other losses. Inside matter will not be furnished to editors under any consideration. Relatives coming to make a six months' visit will be welcomed ; but when they bring their household furniture, virtue will cease to be a forbearance. Single men with their families will not be boarded. Beds with or without boards. Dreams will be charged for by the dozen. Nightmares hired out. at reasonable rates. Stone vaults will be furnished to snoring boarders, as the proprietor will in no wise be responsible for. the broken tympanums of other ears.
